Video Player customization was a challenge in the native macOS environment

Apple review process hindered app updates and certain features

Apple In-App purchase system was not scalable outside of the Apple ecosystem

Outcome

Over a 4 month period we were able to design, develop, and ship our product addressing our biggest pain points. We decided to rebuild our app in Electron, opening up our product to Windows and Linux users. This allowed us to create a fast, highly customizable video player with “Theater Mode” that addressed users pain points of watching videos while learning. This also relinquished design limitations and allowed us to optimize on creating a clearer learning track, decreasing confusion for lesson locations and source code files, while increasing average session times. We were also able to build our own API for full customization and flexibility.
